Christmas Tree Candy Ropes
For years, people have strung popcorn, paper chains, or tinsel around their Christmas trees. This can be a sweet holiday if you make candy ropes for Christmas tree decorations. You can enjoy the candy after Christmas or make a rope to give to a friend.
You will need:
a variety of hard candy
colored plastic wrap or aluminum foil
a stapler
ribbon
-
If any of the candy is wrapped in paper that is unsuitable for Christmas, remove the wrapper and wrap the candy in colored plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
-
Staple the ends of the wrapping on the candy together horizontally to form a rope.
-
Tie ribbon between the candies to help disguise the staples.
